    Love the Light Summer Sweater for myself but I think I’d use the yarn to make one or more prayer shawls to donate to our church. We have a great group of ladies that knits these for donation to those grieving a loss, experiencing a personal crisis or illness or to give to local charities like the hospital burn unit, the cancer center or the childrens hospital. Would love to win!!

    I would make something intirely selfish, something just for me. Seems I am always knitting something for family or ‘a cause’ but never anything that lives here with me. It does sound selfish when seeing it in type, but would be nice for just a little change.
    Love the purple…….a sweater is a tad bit warm for Texas living but a shawl would work for any season.

    I have been drooling over M’Lou Baber’s Double Knitting: Reversible Two-Color Designs. Most of these patterns call for DK weight yarn to reduce the bulkiness of the jackets and wraps. But most patterns call for nearly 20 skeins of yarn! If I win, I could afford to order 10 skeins of a contrasting color to complete one of these amazing patterns!
